Hey Chainfire, been doing all my testing on the Touch HD w/ Dutty's 3.0 XT Ship + Diamond d3d + Neo's OpenVG 2007 drivers.

Method is always 1) uninstall GfxBoost, 2) Soft Reset, 3) install (new) GfxBoost, 4) Soft Reset, 5) Test. I always check to make sure GfxBoost service reports "active" + test enable/disable b4 testing.

Thanks mate.

EDIT: Saw your post about AudioManager.exe. I'll try again and force AudioManager.exe to shutdown (if it is running... can't remember).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akp99:
Thanks Chainfire. Very interesting post.

Is there an easy way to find out the classname for the cameras to add to the concurrence manager? The HTC camera now works fine on X1 but the SE version has black scren on first load.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
The latest service CAB already adds the relevant registry entries. There is something else going wrong if it doesnt work first time and does second time - this is likely to mean that the second time GfxBoost is actually disabled by the system. Needs further investigation into the issue :)

What doesn't really help is that it seems different versions of Concurrence Manager use different registry entries :S
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
No luck with that... still same issue (ie. no perf gains).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gundamboy:
Chainfire, this app is excellent and I do notice many improvements.

Just wondering if increased battery drain is an issue here, I drop from 100% to 90% in less than an hour! ( on standby )

My X1i is only a month old too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Not sure about that, gundam. It needs further testing, and then if it is so it needs a workaround to fix it. It shouldn't use more battery, though.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mozka:
Ok, let me share my opinion...

I recently got an Touch Diamond and i was pretty frustated with the graphics performance of it because i know that the hardware can handle interfaces even greater than TF3D/etc. Look at the Android G1 interface, its too much fluid than the one shipped with Diamond, its almost like on the iPhone.

I dont think that companies like HTC, Google, and many others choose their products main processor just thinking in a budget/all-in-one solution (yes, MSM7K fits both) but it HAVE TO BE good to handle a decent and fluid interface, smooth video playback and some games. We´re all in the multimedia age and they know that.

So, i think HTC have a crappy/lazy software department, but besides this i think that they always were kinda innovators on the hardware department (i had almost every model since XDA I). It will be great that they start to think with more (much more) attention in the software side.

Then, browsing this amazing forum i found the Chainfire GfxBoost, and together with NeoS2007 driver i finnaly got an ALMOST decent device, so IMHO i thinks that i got a 30~40% VISUALLY improvement in my daily use apps.

So... THANKS Chainfire! For the great work (and i hope that you keep it) and know that i agree with every word of yours... You are the MAN!

PS.: Sorry about my poor english, i´m from Brazil.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spocky12:
That's true, but you can nevertheless run the gfxboost.exe directly from windows directory. I shows "Active", but I have yet to see an improvment :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I also installed it and noticed nothing, but maybe it just not noticable in low gfx programs ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I started noticing a pattern, so I decided to go a day with, and a day without GfxBoost, and I've decided that the following is repeatable on my Tilt with the ROM in my signature (ie: Might just be me).

When I'm running GfxBoost, some program at some point will not launch and I just get the spinner until I soft reset. I've seen it happen on 5-6 different programs... iGO8, GCz, Iris, OpenCellClient, some others... If it were happening on a particular program, or type of program, that's one thing, but this seems to be just random. Everything is working fine, I'm going through my routine of checking rss feeds, twitter, etc and eventually some program just doesn't launch and I get the spinner forever.

I recall I have seen this before I started using GfxBoost but very rarely. So again, I've been switching it on/off over the last week and days when it's off, I never see it. Days when it's on, it does it at least once per day.

Wish I had more specific info, but for me, it seems to cause some kind of problem. It's a great move forward Chainfire and I look forward to where this software/concept goes. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Photopuppet:
I'm running GfxBoost on Anryl's latest 21222 build (Kaiser) and there is a noticeable difference in graphics operations...

Most noticeably, scrolling lag in apps like Internet Explorer has gone and is now smooth and responsive! So it seems like it is doing something significant!

Thank you Chainfire :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tron786:
Well done Chainfire....

Nice to see u back ;)

I have the Touch 3G (jade)... did anyone got experience with GFX boost for it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BigE:
What exactly do you see?

I can not tell the difference with and without it. It does not crash, and it does not seem to do anything I can notice. The rom is quite good as is... Can you shed some light on the difference in performance please?

BigE
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amart565:
the most noticeable difference for me was on Teeter. Without gfxboost, it is terribly laggy (and always was) and with Gfxboost it looks as smooth as the iphone equivalant. I am very sensitive to the fps difference and LOVE your work Chainfire!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adejager1:
navigating through the titanium menu is more fluently. Before I experienced that it sooner selected a sub menu or a program, but now i can scroll up and down without directly diving into a sub menu or a program. When you select a sub menu the transition is more smooth. Before i was no big fan of the titanium plugin, now it it more usable.

Also S2U2 reacts quicker and reacts better.

btw TomTom is still working, no problems what so ever. (7.915.9169)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TITAN-23:
GfxBoost 1.1 is working great on my Kaiser. The only issue comes from Coreplayer in QTV mode. This is not a problem for me as I run Coreplayer in DirectDraw anyway (Equal to QTV). But Coreplayer does install with QTV as default. Maybe a registry change for Coreplayer might be a good idea in your next installer forcing DirectDraw for Coreplayer.

Great work Chainfire!

hello, im using gfxboost on my touch hd with dutty 3.3 rom and it significantly helps fps on the opengl test. also it helps with the overall fluidity of the device. however, one main problem i have is that when you use the music tab in tf3d it breaks the gfxboost. is therre a way to fix it?

i want to uninstall it plz help me

note: other users plz try it on ur phone too to help the developer to rectify this prob....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BigE:
GFX 1.1 is working

Oh well, no wonder I saw no difference at first. Somehow before ver 1.1 it was inactive (though enabled) and i could not make it active. I have removed it, and installed ver 1.1 and now it is active. Noticable on home2 menu quite clearly. I have no issues with any graphics either. I think it is safe to say it works fine on HTC Trinity.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajbopp:
Gotta say I didn't notice a difference on my Vogue. In coreplayer, video still plays great in GDI mode, crappy in QTV. Bejeweled still plays choppy in the same places. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places to see the effects?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mutantblack:
I just installed 1.1 on my fuze. I notice the phone graphic is a lot more fluid. My chome is really snappier now when I slide. In coreplayer, GDI mode is really better now. Thanks so much.

So I tried 0.6, 0.7 and 1.1

Phone : Kaiser, WM 6.1, Orange FR Stock ROM.

HTCCA drivers, latest OpenVG drivers from NeoS2007's thread.

0.6 works :)

0.7 doesn't work :(

1.1 doesn't work :(

Are there other requisites, for this to work ? Like some ddi.dll specific version ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radpawlos:
after I've installed 1.1 version I can't find the seting panel and even a program icon, it's not in 'programs' and it's not in setings->system. I can see the progrm is installed in 'remove programs'. icon of ver 0.7 works good,please help with new ver.

edit: i found boost icon in windows folder, but when i run it it shows me enable and disable buttons and 'ERROR / not loaded'

what's wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jesus1987:
Arghhh Help! I installed this and also the Neo drivers on my Touch HD, stock rom. I already had the ATI D3D drivers installed and the Hologram program used to run at about 25 fps. However, it gave an exception and wouldn't run after I installed gfxboost and neo drivers. I copied over some driver dll's to the windows directory and then it worked. But, I uninstalled ATI D3D drivers to reinstall them fresh, and know they won't install, saying that it does not have permission? Now Hologram runs at 0.1 fps!!! Help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benko286:
it is deffinitly better playback in coreplayer,but movie still lags(playback is much much better) when playing .mp4 file...

I have a Kaiser (130).

I used the PDA Corner Ultimate V1 ROM at first, it worked flawlessly with gfxboost.

I recently upgraded to PDA Corner Ultimate V4 and now it:

a: becomes inactive/disabled every time I play audio in HTC audio manager

b: doesn't do any difference even when it says it's active
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moSess:

I read that someones diamond hologram registered 50 fps. Mine does as well. Only I am getting a weird freeze then fluid thing in addition.

I am running NRGs latest 6.5 ROM. The diamond hologram is the only program i tried to do specific troubleshooting with. When I disable the gfxboost the freezing goes away though I notice the somewhat pixelated diamond hologram movement. When activated the movement is so much more fluid though with the aforementioned freezes inbetween. Its quite weird.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xavierdemon:
Chainfire, GfxBoost is awesome, it has definitlely improved the speed of using the Touchflow. The keyboards are also considerably more responsive when GfxBoost is enabled.

The only minor problem is one that most people seem to be suffereing from, namely AudioManager_Engine_WorkerWnd causing GfxBoost to switch to Enabled (Inactive). The only way I can re-enable GfxBoost is to soft reset my Diamond and re-activate.

I am hoping future releases will resolve this problem but once again AWESOME WORK :)

EDIT: Found a random temporary solution :) When you've noticed GfxBoost has deactivated (I can always tell lol) perform Level 3 Purge with CleanRAM. Once that's done GfxBoost comes back online :) and this is a faster solution than soft resetting your phone :). You will of cause need CleanRAM to do this - simple search and you'll find it soon enough.

I have a Jade(touch 3g)

Installed gfxboost 1.1, restarted theppc and then run coreplayer1.30

Under <perferance>, <Video>, <Video Output>QtV, no display when I play a avi file, black screen but with sound.

then I select GDI, the video appears smoother, not much difference.

Why do I get a black screen for Qtv, Qtv is supposed to be hardware accelerated.

Some Bugs

Hi,

I installed GfxBoost on my Diamond, and it seems that it causes some bug where after a while TF3D will no longerload after a reset... it just seems to hang...

I disabled GfxBoost, and the poblem seemed to go away...

I guess it's worth a check, and if I later find it's something else causing these issues, I'll remove this post...

Cheers

PS - Great program though...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] UncleJimbo:
Well I've put it on my Diamond 2 (Topaz) and after a reset it does "work"...the app loads and says its enabled.

However...

# Diamond Hologram does not load (didn't before) - missing some HTC***.dll I think

# Opera 9.5 did seem a little quicker, however I'd just reset my device so this could just be the placebo affect

# iGo 8 definitely had no improvement - my issues with iGo I had put down to GPS lag but since a reg hack TomTom 7 now seems 90% better where as iGo still sucks the big ones (annoyingly it ran like a dream on my TyTN II)

# TouchFlo 3D - no difference...never had an issue with this tho

I know this app wasn't specifically designed for the D2 so I'm not complaining - just giving my feedback and looking for comments from others with a D2...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ASCIIker:
i've been happily (giddy as a schoolgirl :D) using gfxboost for a couple of weeks now and i thought i should share some observations that might have been mentioned in this thread but are currently not mentioned in the first post:

1. taskfacade feels the love!

2. audiomanager SOMETIMES (very very rarely) knocks out gfxboost. i know this has been mentioned in this thread...i usually solve the problem by just going into library view and then i tap and hold the "X" button to terminate audiomanager. this has always worked for me and gfxboost gets activated again

3. on my ROM (HyperDragon April 10th, 2009 Rhodium ROM) the EZInput keyboard suite DOES NOT work if gfxboost is installed. it appears in the list of input options and i can select it but the default on screen keyboard always appears...this seemed odd to me because it is weird that a service mode application that enables a video tweak somehow interferes with the correct working of an add-on onscreen keyboard suite...

all in all, EXCELLENT WORK chainfire (and the dude that discovered the video-paused-in-background-in-album trick) !!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Baronic:
coreplayer did not break GFXboost, GFXboost broke my coreplayer! no amount of reinstalling and uninstalling of GFXBOOST fixed it, any video seen on coreplayer would lag/hang but audio continued playing! had to hard reset!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ASCIIker:
i use coreplayer 1.3.2 build 6909...as mentioned in this thread, if gfxboost is installed, you need to DISABLE coreplayer's "Tytn II Driver mode", i.e. you configure coreplayer to NOT use QTV mode

with gfxboost installed, i use DirectDraw at Medium quality with dithering in coreplayer preferences under the Video section

for me, the results yield a very acceptable experience in terms of the framerate observed in coreplayer with 624x352 resolution divx/xvid files

HOWEVER, the acceptable framerate comes at the cost of some loss in quality...i usually watch sitcoms and action series (like 24 and prison break) and i find it is more annoying when the device cannot keep up with the rapid action sequences so the combination of gfxboost+Coreplayer+CoreplayerTweaks is an acceptable compromise for me
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stylez:
For me i just disable GFX before using CorePlayer doesn't take 10 secs and makes viewing pleasure more enjoyable especially when takes time encoding a pucker movie :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Baronic:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Baronic:
i found it! so what do i use? direct draw?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TITAN-23:
Select Direct Draw from the Video Preferences.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ASCIIker:
just wanted to clarify that in my experience with coreplayer, the settings i have mentioned give the best results (great framerate and okay quality)...better than ANY settings i have tried in coreplayer (to tweak for framerate) WITHOUT gfxboost...

what i mean to say is that whatever settings you have in coreplayer will work BETTER if you have gfxboost enabled and coreplayer's "Tytn II Driver mode" disabled

as always, YMMV :D
